Yesterday, I asked Siri to set a timer for 45 minutes. She replied, “Timer set. I see you shiver with antici…” Why wanting to be reminded to take my clothes out of the dryer inspired a quote from Rocky Horror, I have no idea. Another time she threw in a Bowie quote for no apparent reason. I’m not complaining. I find her occasional surprises delightful. I know she’ll say sone funny stuff in response to certain inputs, but these seemed to be random. Do any of you get surprise song quotes from Siri? ---

I’ve heard the Rocky Horror one too many times, but I’ve never heard the Bowie line. What was it? ---

Wish I could remember. I think it was from Space Oddity. Have you noticed anything in particular that triggers the Rocky Horror one? ---

I’d be very impressed if it came up with [Watching The Clothes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3HUOHqokOI) by The Pretenders. ---

No, I’m pretty sure all the responses are just randomly chosen. I can think of a few quirky responses when you ask a direct question about a particular song, but that doesn’t count. ---
